Witnesses: Apache fired on crowd

Sunday 12 September 2004, 19:27 Makka
Time, 16:27 GMT

At least 10 people were killed in the attack

Most of the young Iraqi men and boys
mingling around the burning wreckage of a
US armoured car in Baghdad were unfazed
by the clattering of an American helicopter
gunship overhead. Moments later they were
under fire.

Some had pointed to the Apache helicopter.
Others jogged slowly from the burning
Bradley fighting vehicle, which the US
military said had been set ablaze by a bomb.
None expected it would shoot at them.






Standing next to him, Fuad's colleague and
friend Mazin Tumaizi, a producer for
Dubai-based al-Arabiya, was killed as he
prepared to give a stand-up piece to camera.


Gee, that's really too bad! Imagine -- an anti-American propagandist
killed while making a propaganda story! Same thing as having a bomb you
are making explode.

"I looked at the sky and saw a helicopter at
very low altitude", Fouad said. "Just
moments later I saw a flash of light from the
Apache. Then a strong explosion", he said.

Unarmed civilians

Really?



The first explosion sent Fuad crashing to the
ground.


I find it difficult to sympathise with those killed in this incident.
They were obviously celebrating the deaths of Americans and, therefore,
were no longer "innocent bystanders."
